Vyalev injection pump. Anyone else on this?

Posted by haaskencal @haaskencal, Jun 10 8:04am

I have had PD for 10 years (I am 75). I took carbidopa / levodopa pill with good results for 9 years but the side affects gave me a lot of stomach pain. I have been using a new procedure called Vyalev for a year. It requires me to carry an injection pump all of the time (which is inconvenient) but I don't have the stomach problems. Has anyone else experience this?

Hi, @haaskencal. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Having serious stomach pain with a medication is indeed a lot to put up with.

I started a brand new discussion with your post, because I thought this topic merited it.

How's the foscarbidopa and foslevodopa (Vyalev) controlling your symptoms? Any side effects at all you've observed?
